"Great daytime shots / ISO 800 is great w/ low nosie but has many problems"

by MarcoMorelli on August 14, 2005

Pros: Fast Lens w/ ISO 800 makes a good shot for low light situations WITHOUT flash. Great daytime images. Ultra compact. Great Design. Stylin'

Cons: Photos with flash are terrible. Many of them have over exposed spots. Auto white balance at night with flash. Photos sometimes are blurry. Lack of manual controls
Summary: This camera is great for photos during the day. It takes very sharp photos that come out looking great. It also takes great photos when there is low light (but not dark). ISO 800 really helps when light levels start to diminish. There is very low noise at ISO 800 (along with the other ISO levels). Flash photography with this camera is terrible. The flash doesn?t seem that strong in many photos but then others come out with over exposed spots in others. The white balance with the flash is not dependable. It sometimes comes out too reddish. This camera is not a good contender at night even though it is marketed to be one! The camera has very minimal manual controls. On the plus side, it is very stylish. It feels very well constructed and is all metal. The screen does not scratch. Uses xD format (fast but only goes up to 1gig as of now). It loads up fast. It takes high quality movies. It?s too bad that the camera just doesn?t perform well at night; I really like the look / feel of this camera.
